Chapter 119 Sending the God of Plague
Liangsu had an expression on his face: "Auntie, look! I said that the eldest sister is going to be deceived, right? This Prince Xie has already had someone he likes, and he has never married because of her. He is only with the eldest sister because of It’s just to relieve the depression in my heart, there will be no results.”
Xie Fubai has already fallen in love with someone?
I haven't been in Beijing all this time, so I really don't know about these messy trivial matters.
The three of them came together. They must not be here to gossip and see how busy they are. There must be a reason.
Liang Jiang calmed down and did not defend himself: "I didn't know that Prince Xie already had a sweetheart."
"Prince Xie's sweetheart is gentle, kind, well-educated, and talented in literature. She is one of the most talented women in Shangjing City. Sister, you cannot compare with her. It's a pity that we are destined to be together but not destined to be together."
Liang Jiang's heart moved, and he was about to continue asking when the mute uncle from outside came in and reported back: "Madam, there is someone in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion who wants to see you."
Liangwen asked: "Who is coming?"
The dumb uncle replied: "It is the steward of the Hou Mansion who came here in person. He said that he was here to deliver the invitation on the order of the old lady. He asked the princess and his wife to show their respect and go to the Hou Mansion for a banquet tomorrow."
Several people looked at each other.
The Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion must have also heard the gossip about the two of them. At this time, it was too late to avoid suspicion, so why did they still ask people to send invitations?
Mrs. Liang said: "Please."
After a while, the mute uncle led the guests inside, knelt down and kowtowed, and respectfully handed the invitation to Mrs. Liang's hand.
"My old lady got an embroidered screen. It is said that it was made by Mrs. Liu. I would like to have Mrs. Lin and the princess come over tomorrow and help me distinguish the authenticity from the fake."
Mrs. Liang knew that identifying the embroidered screen was just an excuse. She took the invitation and asked, "Are we the only ones invited?"
The steward shook his head: "My wife also invited the right minister of the Ministry of Industry, as well as the two ladies from the Taifu's house and his daughter to appreciate it together."
Mrs. Liang became more and more confused, what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the Hou Mansion? After sending the steward away, he turned around and asked Liang Jiang seriously:
"Has Prince Xie mentioned to you about tomorrow's banquet?"
Liang Jiang shook his head: "I haven't seen him in the past two days."
On the side, Aunt Liang gloated: "The two noble ladies invited by the Hou Mansion are well-educated and know etiquette. They are in their prime years. This matter is a lice on the bald man's head. It is an obvious matter. They must be choosing the crown prince for Prince Xie. Liangjiang retreated when he knew it was difficult."
Liang Su also said harshly: "Sister, it's better not to go tomorrow, lest you be humiliated and embarrassed."
Liang Wenshi's face darkened: "This is what's wrong with Crown Prince Xie. He deceived you first, and now it has caused a stir in the city, causing the people to talk about you a lot. But he wants to choose another wife in such a public way, which is obviously not to control the country. The government takes it seriously."
Aunt Liang second agreed with sarcasm: "The Duke's mansion is indeed different from what it used to be, and Liang Jiang was married before, so no wonder he is looked down upon.
But we are also the daughter of a decent family, how can we allow him to be bullied like this by the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion? Even if you can't be the crown prince, you can still be a concubine, right? "
Mrs. Liang was stunned and denied: "Let my daughter be a concubine? Impossible!"
Second Aunt Liang teased meaningfully again: "I know sister-in-law, you have a relationship with the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, so I can't lose face. I can come forward and ask the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion to explain this matter!
But we have to be self-aware. , Don't be too greedy. It would be good for Liang Jiang to be a side wife, no matter in terms of wealth, status or character, she is better than Fang Chengxu, the one you have chosen from thousands of people, right?"
Mrs. Liang's face turned red with anger: "I was blind when I married into the Fang family, but no matter how bad my daughter is, she is also the princess who has been personally conferred by the Holy Emperor. How can she be a concubine? Isn't this an insult to my brother and sister?"
Liangwen said angrily: "What you said is very plausible. If you have the ability, you should marry her off. Even if she is a trafficker, I will admit it. In case you don't see her every day, in case you do something scandalous that will disgrace your family." , it’s too late to discipline him.”
Liang Su interrupted: "Whether you want to marry into the Marquis's house and be a concubine, or marry a trafficker and be a wife, you have to listen to my eldest sister's own thoughts. Maybe she has already found the right person, eldest sister, don't you think so? "
Several people looked towards Liang Jiang in unison.
Liang Jiang listened for a long time and finally understood the intentions of Liang Wen's three people.
The gossip is just an introduction. The important thing is that you want to get married as soon as possible. No matter who she marries, even if she is a concubine, she can still get a dowry and be kicked out of the Duke's palace.
The married daughter throws away the water, and it is inconvenient for him to interfere in all the affairs of the Duke's Mansion. It was natural for Liang Wendong to inherit the Duke's Mansion.
So, could it be that the second room deliberately spread the news about me and Xie Fubai having a drink at Zuixianglou?
Facing Liang Su's provocation, Liang Jiang raised his lips and sneered: "When did I say that I wanted to get married?"
"Why are you so close to Prince Xie if you don't get married? Back in the main hall, the old lady personally admitted that you and Prince Xie were having a banquet together in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
This time, the private meeting between the two of you in the restaurant was even more noisy. If you don't get married, wouldn't it mean that you are having an affair and are willing to be humble? The face of the Duke's Mansion has almost been completely disgraced by you! "
Liangwen's words were merciless and very unpleasant.
Liang Jiang sneered: "If you think I am embarrassed and are afraid that I will affect Liang Su's marriage, just like you did to my father, sign a letter of disassociation with me and make it public. Wouldn't it be a waste of money? What do you think of Grandma?"
Liangwenshi choked.
"It's true that a dog bites Lu Dongbin and doesn't recognize a good heart!"
"But grandma, you are not Gou Yao, and I am not Lu Dongbin. Who knows what your intentions are?" Liang Jiang replied unceremoniously.
Liang Wenshi slapped the table and stood up: "I'm afraid you won't be able to tolerate this matter. I will spread the word tomorrow and find a matchmaker to help you quickly. Then your husband's family will discipline you well."
"Okay," Liang Jiang said with a smile: "Whoever agrees will marry. Having multiple grandfathers is not a big deal. Your granddaughter will pay you a dowry."
These words made Liang Wenshi so angry that he almost lost his temper.
Pointing at the galangal with trembling hands, he beat his chest and feet, but could not curse.
Don't be afraid of powerful people, don't be afraid of stupid people, just be afraid of crazy people.
Liang Jiang is just a lunatic.
Amidst the scolding, Liangjiang patted his butt and left. Instead of holding back your anger, it's better to calm down the madness and anger the whole family. Wouldn't this mean that the liver qi will be relieved immediately?
Mrs. Liang was eager to know what was going on with Liang Jiang and Xie Fubai, so she followed them back to the backyard.
Mrs. Liangwen was so angry that she gritted her teeth: "It's like a father but not a mother! How could such a bad person come from such a good family! It's weird that he can get married!"
Liangsu rolled his eyes: "Grandma, we can't just follow my eldest sister's lead and fool around with this matter. After passing this village, there is no such store."
Second Aunt Liang also encouraged: "Why don't we take advantage of the momentum of these rumors, make mistakes, and go to the Marquis's Mansion to find out whether she is a wife or a concubine. At least we can give her a name. Not only will our Duke's Mansion be clean, but we can also get married to the Marquis' Mansion. It will also help Wen Dong in the future.”
Mrs. Liangwen tried her best to suppress her anger: "What do you need to say? But she refuses to marry no matter what. What can I do?"
"It depends on people. Let's go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow and make a scene in front of the big guys. The Hou Mansion wants to save face, and because of the friendship between the two families, we must agree. If the eldest sister gets what she wants, she won't be so stubborn."
"That's right, mother, Liang Jiang has been tinkering with the old account books of the house these days, and I don't know what evil she is holding back. The Duke's house has been messed up by her, so send this plague god away as soon as possible. We will be clean."
The two of them talked to each other and succeeded in impressing Liang Wenshi.
"Okay, tomorrow Liangsu, you will accompany your grandmother to the Marquis Mansion and ask the old lady for an explanation."
Liang Su suddenly felt happy and agreed.
Are you Liangjiang still obsessed with becoming the Crown Princess? Beautiful thought! As long as I propose to the Hou Mansion first and let you be the side wife, you can stop trying to raise your status!
I just want you to fall into the mud. We are both daughters of a good family. Why can you be taller than me?
